Document Summary

Iron reacts with oxygen (cid:198) rust (fe2o3) spontaneous no energy needed. Spontaneity: - ice melting: temperatures above 0 it will melt spontaneously into water. Non-spontaneous processes require the system to be acted on by an external agent, such as the input of energy. A reaction will naturally proceed towards either reactants or products, whichever is more stable or lower in energy. Disorder or number of different ways a thermodynamic system can be arranged. The different combinations in which the system can be arranged are known as microstates. The greater number of configurations, or microstates a system has, this is consistent with. The spontaneous direction of any process is toward an increased dispersal of matter and energy. the system"s macrostate, and the greater entropy of the system. The more items present, the more microstates and the greater the tendency to disperse. More molecules more disordered occupy a greater number of microstates have a greater entropy.
